During a slow trip through a state park, I stopped a few times to take a picture or two and I noticed a LOT of heat on my legs that I didn't normally feel prior to putting the lowers on.

Also, a few times when I really dropped the speed in 2nd gear, I swear I heard a sort of a "knocking" sound at it tried to...

Just about got my 1983 KZ1100 project wrapped up. Bike is running, and looking pretty marvelous, If I must say so myself. I did have a question about removing the headlight. There is that small tab on the bottom you have to push in, but I am not clear if you push it straight in, or it is hinged and you push it back (hope that makes sense) No matter how I have tried it, have not been able to release the headlight ring to get it off, as I have decided the last thing I will do is...

What I don't care for is two fold;
- the brass bulb sockets, which both happen to have stress cracks in them, which makes the bulbs sloppy/loose. The "tube" for the bulb is crimped to a steel angle bracket, which is push nutted to the plastic housing. Those tabs are still good and the push nuts are off and still intact.
- the loose bulb reflectors where the center...

It's not intuitive - you have to start with a pair of door mirrors with the optional angled mounts on the bases, then swap the heads over, left head to right stem, and vice versa.
After that, they'll fit the fairing nicely, screwed into position at the front upper, where there's an ideal space...

My thought on size is 3 1/2" die cut (die cut meaning the cuts will follow the shape of the logo)
Also, I was going to make it transparent. That way we can put it on windshields.

Any other ideas on size? or ideas in general?]]>16Americanization of KawasakiFri, 25 Nov 2016 05:13:50 +0000http://www.vetterowners.com/threads/americanization-of-kawasaki.1143/

Given that the brackets are slightly angled in towards the front of the bike, how are we supposed to slide the fairing as far back as we can and still be aligned with the holes or even the mounting area? If the brackets were ran straight forward I could easily see doing this - but with that angle there, the fairing and bracket mounting holes get...
